{{Homosexuality}}
'''"Homophobia"''' is a widely-used term of dubious meaning. It is a coinage modeled on terms such as "claustrophobia" and "hydrophobia" but unlike those terms "homophobia" has no basis in clinical psychology. <ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homophobia</ref>Although the intended meaning is "the fear of homosexuals," the fake term does not even carry this meaning.
